Sandea Label Changes for Cucumbers/ Pickles

Mark VanGessel, Extension Weed Specialist; mjv@udel.edu

There is a new Supplemental Label (24c) for Sandea on cucumbers allowing a 14 day pre-harvest interval (PHI), reduced from the current 21 day PHI. This label will eventually be on the full label, but growers wanting to use the 14 day PHI will have to have a copy of the supplemental label in their files. Copies of the 24c label are available on CDMS (http://www.cdms.fnet/Label-Database).

While the PHI has been shortened, the label still requires an early POST application window from after the 3 to 5 true leaves stage but before the first female flower appears. In addition, Sandea is labeled for preemergence application.
